According to Beijing Evening News, Li Jun, Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Ancient Vertebrate Gurenlei Vice researcher posted in a magazine column that 95% of museums in China exposes “fake fossils” .

However, not all “fake fossils” aren’t completely fake. Those are processed with real fossils. White they were trying to trim it to make it more sharp, it lost its value as historical records and there is no significance as fossils. There are also 100 percent fake man made fossiles still sitting in some of the museams.

The problem is the lack of knowledge of the person processing paleontology. Mr. Li, researcher gave an example of one deputy in fossils of extinct animals. The tail was somehow added to this extinc animals in the process. In addition, when they were giving tours to researchers from overseas, some of them pointed out the fact the fossils here are FAKE, and the tour guide was very imbarrased.

How can we teach children with fake fossils?, said Mr. Li with deputy.
